Divine Fits, the new supergroup of Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade/Handsome Furs), Britt Daniel (Spoon), and Sam Brown (New Bomb Turks) have announced their first live appearances. They'll take place in each band member's hometown: Austin (Daniel), Montreal (Boeckner), and Columbus (Brown). They'll also play Treasure Island in San Francisco in October.

Following the recent news that Handsome Furs have called it quits, Dan Boeckner (also of Wolf Parade) has announced a new collaborative project with Spoon frontman Britt Daniel and New Bomb Turks' Sam Brown. They're recording under the name Divine Fits, with a debut produced by Nick Launay (Arcade Fire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) set for Merge later this year.

The album cover for Wolf Parade offshoot Handsome Furs' latest album, Sound Kapital, is pretty NSFW-- so it makes sense that the video for HF single "What About Us" isn't exactly cubicle-friendly, either. Stereogum has the clip, which was directed by actor (Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire) Scott Coffey, who also directed Wolf Parade's "Yulia" video. It's a dark one (literally), with dual-gender nudity, strange car rides, hotel room trysts, and straight-up fucking in the great outdoors. Check it out below.

So...yeah. That's the cover of Handsome Furs' new album, Sound Kapital (out June 28 via Sub Pop). Suddenly, all thosepromoshots that Wolf Parade co-leaders Dan Boeckner (of Wolf Parade) and his wife Alexei Perry have done in the past seem awfully tame, innit? (BTW, that is not Perry in the above pic, in case you were wondering. Pervs.)
